Third Round
45. Rashard Higgins, of recent, is the most notable wide receiver drafted in the NFL from Colorado State University. Michael Gallup is a more pure route runner and strong receiver to make a play in the air than Higgins. Higgins would stretch the field downfield, while Gallup was more of a possession wideout. However, an underrated part of Gallup’s game is long strides to gain serious run after catch yardage. Gallup projects as a number two wide receiver at the highest but he could very well be the best third wide receiver on the roster if Latimer is not resigned by the Denver Broncos. Wide Receiver. Colorado State. Michael Gallup. 71. player
Boise State. Leighton Vander Esch. 100. player. 45. There are plenty of tackling machines in the NFL Draft this year. Denver Broncos nabbing Leighton Vander Esch gives them a player that might start day one immediately as a third rounder. Vander Esch is an instinctive linebacker. Something that is a constant throughout this position group. After Roquan Smith and Tremaine Edmunds, some view Vander Esch as the third best linebacker in the NFL Draft. Vander Esch absolutely exploded on the scene in 2017 with 141 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, four pass break ups, and three interceptions. He proved he is an exceptional athlete that is not afraid to cover running backs. He might be a steal in the third round for the Denver Broncos.. Linebacker
